 * Search Engines:**

We posted a these in 2006 (and added a few here and there) but it's time to reintroduce these in the Lab. We've added another that has sprung up as well in 'TouchGraph.com'. Organizing data is one of the major challenges on the desktop and especially on the web. The following search engines are taking standard web searches into a new realm of category / visual organization.

[|TouchGraph.com] Move the mouse over the binoculars to get a site preview. You'll see: [|http://www.ask.com]

Google's new search engine experiment: [|http://www.searchmash.com]

There's a new [|Flash version of SearchMash] as well.
